Also, whether the investment will suit your current status, and whether it will support your long term goals. Two of the largest forms of capital investment the average person will make in their lifetime involve pensions and property. While many investors choose to invest in both pension schemes alongside property, in some cases it can make more sense to favour one versus the other, whether entirely or in terms of the balance of capital that is invested. Here at Thirlmere Deacon, we assist our clients with all aspects of property investment both here in the UK and abroad. While we’d always recommend obtaining independent financial advice, we are keen to share industry insights with our existing investors as well as those who are looking to invest with us for the first time. So, if you’re in search of some clarity when it comes to the pension vs property debate, here’s everything you need to know about both options so that you can move ahead with your investment decision with confidence. Pensions Vs Property: A Brief OverviewBoth pensions and property are designed to grow in value over time so that either way you will stand to gain a payout. However, both operate differently, and this may mean one form of asset could be better suited to your investment strategy versus the other. Pension pots are paid into gradually over your working life, with experts recommending to contribute between 10% and 12.5% of your salary into your pension pot each month, assuming you will contribute for the full 35 years. You can also make lump sums into pension funds, with the tax-free allowance for pension contributions currently standing at £40,000 per year. Property, on the other hand, usually requires an upfront deposit and then a mortgage to be paid off over a set term. Unless purchasing a property outright, the average mortgage lasts for 25 years. Though with a buy-to-let property, the cost of letting the property is designed to cover the mortgage, with the ability to recover the cost of the property at an increased value in line with inflation when the property is eventually sold. There’s also the plausible option of investing both into a pension fund and property simultaneously. This may be a strategy to consider if you want to benefit from both asset types. As mentioned above, it’s also possible to invest more capital into one asset type versus the other, without having to choose solely one option. What You Need To Know About RetirementThe pension vs property debate isn’t exclusively tied to funding retirement. But it is a top consideration since both asset types can help fund your living costs in later years, especially when a wage is no longer coming in. In essence, the idea of planning for retirement either through paying into a pension or investing in property is so that your standard of living does not decrease once you are no longer being paid a salary. As well as paying for basic living costs and even luxury amenities such as holidays and transport, a retirement fund may also be needed to fund your care as you head into your elderly years. One such expense you may face in old age is care home fees, which currently cost between £2,816 and £3,552 per month. Such expenses are something that can come as a shock to those who haven’t financially planned for their retirement, which is why it pays to think ahead. The good news is that those who have invested in property will typically stand a much better chance of recovering the fees for end of life care if their existing savings cannot cover it, due to the value held in property. In addition, some investors also want the option to leave funds to their family, which will also require prior hindsight to budget for, in addition to all of the other expenses retirement will bring. How Much Do You Need For Retirement UK?Financial experts recommend that the average person requires 20-25 times their salary saved to fund their retirement years. As an example, this would mean someone with a current UK average salary of £26,000 per year would require between £520,000 and £650,000 to maintain a similar standard of living when they retire. The true amount will depend on your projected living costs when you retire, and the standard of living you wish to have. Naturally, the higher standard of living, the more money will be required to fund this. As an example, according to Which, the average expenditure for higher earners wanting to lead a luxurious lifestyle in retirement would require a £31,000 pension pay out per year. This would require a pension pot of up to around £775,000 to fund. Some of the top aspects that make up this figure include long haul holidays (£5,682), short haul holidays (£3,588), car payments (£4,438), groceries (£2,256), housing payments (£2,592) and insurance (£1,824). What You Need To Know About The UK Property MarketWhat any investor wants to know is whether there is a demand for their asset class or not, along with the projected value increase over time. When it comes to property, there is a chronic housing shortage in the UK. According to the government, 340,000 new homes need to be built each year in England alone to meet this demand. In the period between 2020 and 2021, only 210,000 new houses were built in England, which is a sharp decline from the 243,000 new homes that were supplied in the previous year. The housing shortage is not an easy fix and coupled with rents rising across the UK averaging £1,752 in Greater London, owning property remains highly desirable both as an owner, as well as a buy-to-let landlord. In addition, UK house prices rose by an average of 10% during 2021 against the backdrop of a pandemic, with the average home in the UK now worth £268,349. This proves that the property market remains resilient, which is a top factor any investor should consider before discounting property solely in favour of a pension. Read more: Why Is The UK An Attractive Place To Invest? How Much Do You Need To Invest In Property?Investing in property begins with the cost of a deposit, which can range between 10% and 20% of the total purchase price, depending on your status and whether you have previously owned any property before. Although the average UK house deposit stands at £57,300, the exact figure of the deposit will also depend on what area of the country you are looking to invest in, the property type, its condition etc. As an example, our Hull Central Apartments have an asking price of £125,000 which is well below the UK average house price, yet boast a predicted 28% price growth by 2025. So in many ways, property investment offers a lot of opportunity for those on the starting end of the scale, just as it does in the premium market. Read more: Best Way To Invest £50k In Property PensionThe purpose of a pension is to provide financial stability during retirement when you are no longer of working age. Some people also work towards retiring early, meaning they’ll need to access their pension pot much sooner (FIRE). A pension requires you to put money away each month, and this money cannot be accessed until the age of 55, though in some cases, you can receive access to 25% of your pension before this age limit. In addition, most people are also entitled to a basic State Pension, which at the time of writing can be claimed at age 66. The current state pension equates to £179.60 per week, or £9,339 a year. However, a UK Retirement Living Standards survey found that the average single person requires £20,800 a year to live on, rising to £36,000 a year for couples. Of course, the age limit when you can start claiming your State Pension often increases, and in addition, the amount of state pension you receive will depend on the year in which you were born and how many qualifying years you have on your National Insurance. While each person will have different financial requirements for when they retire, it is clear that additional savings or indeed investments will need to be made to cover the deficit, which is why most people also pay into an official pension scheme, such as a workplace pension or a private pension. Pension Pros
Pension Cons
PropertyThe simple fact is that we all need a place to live, which is why the demand for housing is unlikely to diminish completely, even if the supply chain does eventually catch up. Anyone who invests in property will be able to inspect their asset as property is a physical asset. The property market in itself also remains strong with continual growth increases reported year on year. As an investor, it’s also easy to understand what makes a property valuable such as its size, the location it’s in, the condition of the property and whether any improvement works can be made. Therefore, it’s possible to purchase a property and renovate it for a profit or hang on to it as a buy-to-let property with a view of selling the property later down the line. However, any property investor still needs to research the costs and ultimately the commitment the property will require for as long as it is in their possession. For example, as well as taxes or fees associated with property ownership, any property that will be let out must be kept to a good living standard. Although property owners can enlist the services of a property management company, some landlord involvement will be required if looking to let out your investment. Property Pros

Pension vs Property FAQsWe’ve answered some of the most common questions investors have when it comes to choosing between investing in a pension versus property below. Have any questions you don’t see here? Thirlmere Deacon holds regular investment Q&A sessions over on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe and leave us a comment, and we may just feature your question in our next session. Can I Use My Pension To Buy A House?While it is possible to use your pension funds to purchase a property, there may be tax penalties for doing so, meaning it’s not generally recommended for residential property. However, we do suggest reading the information under ‘Can I Purchase Through A SIPP?’ under our hotel room investments page. That’s because some SIPP may be approved for commercial property investments. As always, we’d recommend you speak to a pensions expert to clarify your individual situation. Can I Use My SIPP To Buy Property?Yes, but as alluded to above a SIPP can generally only be used to purchase commercial property, which is why we offer options for SIPP with our commercial hotel room investments. Generally speaking and if approved by your provider, a SIPP can be used to purchase freehold, leasehold or commonhold commercial property in the UK. How Much Is State Pension In 2022?The State Pension is due to increase by 3.1% in 2022. This will mean the basic State Pension will increase to £141.85 per week, whereas the full State Pension will increase to £185.15 per week. When Can You Access Your Pension?In general, workplace or personal pensions can be accessed when you reach the age of 55. To access your State Pension, you must reach the State Pension age which currently stands at 66. In Summary: Is Property Better Than A Pension?While we are keen to stress that investing in a pension versus property doesn’t have to be a clear choice over the other, it’s useful to recap what both have to offer, and ultimately what they require from you as an investor. A pension is something that requires a continual contribution or a lump cash sum to create enough money to sustain your standard of living once you retire. Pensions come in many different forms, though offer the highest return when they are started from a younger age due to inflation. There is also an age limit of when you can access your pension funds, and when you are then entitled to a further State Pension. Though, the State Pension alone often falls way short of the cost of living, which is why an additional source of income such as a workplace pension (or any other type of investment) is needed to cover the shortfall. Your pension may also be taxed if you exceed what’s known as the lifetime allowance, which currently stands at £1,073,100. Property generally requires a lump sum totalling a minimum 10%-20% of the total purchase price to secure. Property prices in the UK continue to rise, meaning it can be difficult for newer investors to enter the market, though the costs can be offset by investing in buy-to-let property whereby a healthy yield is expected. Unlike a pension, property can be sold at any time, including when the market is more favourable to sellers. Taxes and fees also apply when a property is sold, and any buy-to-let-investors should also calculate the implications for their tax band, to ensure their rental yield and overall return on investment remains healthy.

via Best Chandeliers And Home Lighting in Dubai, UAE – Homenoon https://www.homenoon.com/property-in-dubai/pension-vs-property-which-is-the-best-investment/ 1/ Quality MattressThis is the most important. Futons and old mattresses are fine for college years but once you are an adult and have your own apartment or home, you need a good-quality mattress. If you have back problems, you may need something exceptionally good – which means it could be a genuine investment but it’s definitely worth it. I started with IKEA mattresses, but now I have a boxspring bed from Fennobed in Hannover, Germany by Matri of Finland. I have the HILJA Continental 180×200 cm, FIRM, with the Mio Plus Topper 180 x 200 cm. 2/ Quality BEDDING + PILLOWSAs a rule, I tell my clients that they need 5 light sources in every room (at least). One near to every corner and one in the center (on the ceiling). Placing a lamp on each side of the bed gives you a good balance of light. Placing a lamp in another corner near a chair for reading is also nice. Perhaps in another corner you may have a dresser where you keep clothes, put a lamp there too. The lighting, at least on each side of your bed, should give you the ability to adjust it – to dim or not – so you can create a different vibe for peaceful evenings, to read, or for romance. 3/ Lighting from at least 5 sourcesYou deserve good quality sheets that feel good and give you a sense of luxury – bedding that makes you feel cozy the moment you lie down. I love linen because it’s breathable and good for my skin. A wonderful pillow that is good for your neck is also vital. Bedding will also be a big part of your décor, afterall it’s on the largest piece of furniture in your room so it’s the first thing you notice when you enter the room so spend time selecting the best that you can afford. 4/ storage with doors and drawersIt’s important to have as little “visual noise” as possible when you’re laying in bed. This means when you get in bed and look around you, there should be very minimal clutter and “noise” – so keep clothes, shoes, pajamas, books, etc. behind cabinet doors and inside of drawers, baskets, trunks, etc. 5/ put anything “busy” behind your bedPut busy wallpaper and artwork BEHIND your bed so you don’t see it when you wake up first in the morning and it’s not the last thing you see before bed. This goes for energizing colors too, like red or bold yellow. The bedroom should give you peaceful and calm feelings, not trigger you in any way – for instance family photos, bold wallpaper or paint colors, or artwork can activate your imagination or give you energy, which is not what you need before trying to get a restful night’s sleep! 6/ Full Length MirrorI’ve always have a full-length mirror in two spots in my home – near the front door and in my bedroom. Near the front door, I put on my shoes, hat, handbag and coat along with maybe a scarf, so I need a mirror there to check myself out before I leave the house. I get dressed in my bedroom, so I want to see what I look like from head to toe. I also like a full-length mirror there because I like to see myself as I exercise, it helps me to make sure my posture during floor workouts is good, and that I’m standing in the right position for certain exercises, etc. 7/ enough storageYou need to have a bedside table or stand on each side of the bed, a large closet to store/hang clothes, and a chest of drawers where you can store folded clothes and on top, put accessories or perfumes, hang a mirror, display jewelry, etc. Storage is key to keeping a bedroom tidy and well organized. 8/ scented candlesI love a scented candle in my bedroom, I light one each night as part of my bedtime ritual. I also keep room and pillow sprays in my bedroom, too. Scent is a powerful aid for sleep if you use the right ones, like Lavender, Rose, Camomile, Jasmine, Amber, or Sandalwood, for instance. Also, candlelight can begin to mellow you own and relax your mind and muscles so you can get in the mood to sleep. I usually burn a candle while I’m writing in my journal or stretching before bed – then I make sure to blow it out before I lay down so I don’t forget about it. 9/ Loudspeaker and headphonesI have both a Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 noise canceling headphone and the Beolit 20 (4th generation) loud speaker in my bedroom that connects to my iPhone where I have playlists that I like to enjoy in my bedroom. When I exercise in my bedroom, I have playlists to keep me motivated, when I am getting ready to sleep, I have relaxing playlists. Music is wonderful in the bedroom, music is as important as having a mattress to me! The headphones are great when my little boy wants to crawl into bed and I want to watch Netflix or listen to a podcast without waking him up. 10/ RugYou have to have a rug in the bedroom so that your feet have a soft place to land when you wake up each day. Also, rugs make the room warmer and visually more cozy, too. I don’t suggest an area rug though – too much dust and not so great if you suffer from allergies. A small rug on the side of your bed is enough. I hope you’ve enjoyed this list and I wish you lots of luck pulling together a lovely bedroom! Love, Holly via Best Chandeliers And Home Lighting in Dubai, UAE – Homenoon https://www.homenoon.com/dubai-life/10-items-that-you-must-have-in-your-bedroom-decor8/ When a project is ready to be handed over to its homeowners, the developer will contact them to schedule an “Orientation” to show them the property and its features. This is the right time for a Snagging Inspection to take place. It is when you are allowed to check your property and point out any defects or ‘snags’, whether they are cosmetics or technical, minor or major. These ideally will be rectified by the developer before the key handover takes place. It is very important to appoint professional qualified engineers to conduct the snagging inspection for your property, and that is exactly what we provide at Provident. Unfortunately, most developers don’t live up to their standards that they promise before delivering a project to its homeowners. Thus, using professionals helps you take the handover of your property in its ideal condition before you or your tenants move in. This helps save you/tenants the hassle of having laborers around the house rectifying issues that will be found after the move-in. And it would save you the time it takes to complete the inspection in every detail which might take up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the property. Also, snagging saves you the money that you would have had to spend in the future to rectify any missed defects at the time of Orientation. Finally, it helps you avoid the conflict of interest when the developer’s executives conduct the orientation/snagging for you. With Provident, you can be rest assured that we will use this time frame of “Orientation” to its full extent and in the best way through our Snagging service. Our qualified Engineers are trained to focus on each aspect of the property. It is also worth mentioning that we have previous experience in the construction fields in Dubai. We do not miss any of the cosmetics, mechanical, electrical or plumbing features. Our state-of-the-art equipment with the latest technologies helps us find and point out the hidden issues that would creep on you later when the months go by. The professional Snagging software we use helps us make the process much smoother for all parties involved, producing a detailed comprehensive report within the day. And the best part is, we do not have affiliations with any developers, we have our client’s best interest at heart. via Best Chandeliers And Home Lighting in Dubai, UAE – Homenoon https://www.homenoon.com/property-in-dubai/heres-a-sneak-peek-into-snagging/ |
